Are you headed out of town for winter break? Hopefully, you are escaping to somewhere warm and sunny–and in that case, this post is for you. At my age, a good coverup is just as essential as the SPF and the bathing suit (and, it’s a bonus if it’s cute enough to wear to lunch)….
Anyone planning a warm getaway in the coming weeks? Time to stock up on sunblock, flipflops, and some juicy books. What makes a good beach read? In my opinion, it needs to be light enough to take frequent breaks, but interesting enough to allow a little escapism. It needs to be both engrossing and satisfying and…
This weekend is COLD in Connecticut (yes-wearing my neck warmer inside), so I am hunkering down and doing what I do best- grabbing my laptop and getting to work. I spend a lot of time online searching for blog topics, whimsical products, and the latest and greatest in books, fashion, and beauty. Occasionally I come…
One of my New Year’s resolutions for 2023 is to travel more. Now that we are down to only one kid at home, it’s easier to get out of town (on my wish list this year are Mexico, Nashville, and another girls’ trip). With these hopeful destinations in mind, (although hubby doesn’t know it yet),…

With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, it’s time to think pink. Goodbye dreary January, let’s celebrate love with some cheery items in one of my favorite colors. Grab some rosé, slip into some pink pjs and shop for the ones you love, (or galentines in your life). Time to shake the winter blues with…
This post was originally published in February 2021 I am jumping on the bandwagon and doing a post on comfy slippers- an essential part of my at-home uniform. These past few months I have taken slipper-wearing to a whole new level, increasing the amount of time I spend in them and the number of pairs…
Meet Me
Welcome to Whit & Whimsy- a lifestyle space I created to share my favorite books, beauty buys, fashion, and more. I post about trusted products I love, items I lust after, and treasures I give as gifts. Expect to hear about the latest thriller read, maxi dress, simple meal, and best new mascara-- and there will always be a touch of leopard print, and a monogram or two. I hope to connect with readers by offering inspiration and suggestions through content that is classic, chic, shoppable, and a bit whimsical.
